I rise today to support this motion and to note the feigned concern from many in this house about minorities. There is no group of people in this house who have stood up for minorities more than the Greens. I take you back to the Tampa, Senator Watson, and your colleagues on that side—where was the tolerance; where was the generosity? What about children overboard, where were you then with your concerns about minorities?
